Rocking Out at the Fair

Last
week A's band played at the Norwich Fair, which I had never been to
before, and A got to be a lead singer, as well. Needless to say, she
did a stand-up job, belting it out and projecting her voice
beautifully. I was a little nervous about the gig because it was
thrust upon her out of nowhere, but again, she did a wonderful job,
and we're all really proud of her.

The
summer schedule has been busy with gigs but with school out and
people on vacation, not all the band members are around for every
occasion. Their lead singer couldn't make it to the gig so they sort
of abruptly bumped A to the forefront with only a few days notice.
She was willing to take the lead, and with only a couple of days to
rehearse, she went for it and did a great job. In my opinion, she
really shined when she belted it out, it just seemed to flow
naturally. She also played guitar but her main job was vocals.

Afterward
she hung out with the band and they did the fair, which I think was a
lot of fun for her. There were a lot of people she knew at the show
so it was extra fun for her, and best of all, she put herself in a
new situation that was uncomfortable and maybe even a little scary,
and rose to the occasion. You can't beat those kind of life
experiences. All in all it was a fun fair, even though we ended up
being there late into the evening and it was a long day. Then again,
you can't complain when you not only get to eat a corndog, but get
mom's blessing to do so.

Until
the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to eric maniac for the pic.
